It went in on Thursday to get the stripes done,then Gra352i done the big decals at his Thursday night(cheers Gray) and i finished of the decals off Friday morning.

I have a zone sticker on the eyebrow i was thinking more of wintershall or warsteiner or both.

It looks great mate.
A Hardtop sprayed white with decals over the top would look good also.

gorgeous car but in my opinion with graphics looks like one of those cars you would see at a cruise sitting between the saxos and corsas...but each to there own if you like go for it!
